Replace Butter with Olive Oil- You need to use all fats in moderation, but not all fats are created equal. Unsaturated fats like olive oils is far better for you than saturated fats like butter. Mix a few herbs and spices in with a drop of olive oil to dip your bread in rather than slathering a tablespoon of butter on your roll.

Whole Grains- Whole grains are much healthier for you than refined grains. Grains like brown rice are loaded with vitamins and minerals that you might otherwise miss out on by eating refined grains.

Keep Portions Appropriate- We tend to eat more than we need. The recommended serving of beef is the size of a deck of cards but rarely do we actually eat that size. Keeping serving sizes appropriate is a key in cutting back on calories and fats.

Cook at Home- Not only will this save you a bunch of money, it will also help you improve your diet. Instead of eating out at fast food restaurants, take the time to prepare and cook a healthy meal with vegetables, fruits and whole grains and you will begin to notice results in your waistline and your wallet.

Snack Healthy- Junk foods like potato chips are loaded with saturated fats and often times artificial preservatives which can hinder your weight loss goals. Replacing these common snack foods with healthier options like nuts

Reduce Your Red Meat Intake- Red meat is delicious and loaded with vitamins and minerals that are essential to living a healthy lifestyle, but just like portion sizes, your red meat intake should be kept in moderation. When you do eat red meat, try to go for the liver since is packed with more nutrients than the other parts of the animal.

Cut back on Sodium- Americans love their salt, and for good reason but our sodium intake has skyrocketed since we eat more salty processed foods. Sodium is essential for our body but in excess it can do much more harm than good.

Don’t Skimp on the Fruits and Veggies- Two of the most important food groups often get tossed to the wayside in favor of processed junk foods. Replacing potato chips and other fatty side dishes with their fresh and healthy counterparts is one of the most crucial steps to losing those last few pounds.

Workout 1: Squats

The squat is an ultra-effective #exercise in toning your glutes, strengthening and burning mega calories. To increase your heart rate and increase your calorie expenditure, you can perform jump squats. And to add resistance and feel the burn, stay in a squat hold with weights in your hands. Squats are one of the most effective exercises to transform your #body.

Workout 2: Lounges

Lunges are a super effective #exercise in toning the muscles in your legs. What makes lunges give you such great results is that they isolate each leg individually, bringing you more results. To increase the intensity and add some cardio, try doing some jump lunges.

Workout 3: Speed Walking

As Jillian Michaels states, as much as she does not always love running, this is an #exercise that burns such a high amount of calories and brings you such great results, how can you not do this? Although I actually enjoy speed walking, because I always feel such a sense of accomplishment after I complete my jog!

Workout 4: Jumping Rope

Jumping rope burns the most calories per minute than any other #exercise. Jumping rope is great because this is inexpensive and easily portable workout that you can do anywhere. So get jumping for a great workout and a lot of fitness fun!

Workout 5: Cycling

Want to work your #legs and get a great sweat? Then get out for a cycling workout. Cycling is a great workout because you can push yourself at a high intensity. You can cycle solo or bring along a friend. Whatever you do, make sure you push yourself so that you can make the most of your workout.

Workout 6: Swimming

Swimming is a great workout that will bring you amazing results, especially if you are a good swimmer. Alternate with the different stroke styles so that you can work different muscle groups. A swimming workout can transform your #body and strengthen you core. So what are you waiting for? Head to the pool for a dip, already!

Workout 7: Pushups

Pushups make the list of exercises to transform your #body because they really work. There are so many different pushups you can do that work the different muscles in your arms and shoulders. By varying your pushup style you will also decrease the risk of becoming bored. I love how pushups not only work your upper body but also focus on the core. Challenge yourself to doing pushups several days a week so that you can sculpt your #arms and transform your body!

Hope you enjoyed this list of exercises that will transform your body and hopefully you will do these exercises so that you can see these results. Results are achieved through your hard work and discipline, and a passion for fitness always helps. What are your goals and how will you achieve these goals?

I love trying different salmon dishes and this one will definitely stay in the rotation. Bursting with flavor this is an incredible dish perfect for impressing dinner guests.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon sugar

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon ground ancho chili pepper or chili powder

2 medium sweet potatoes, scrubbed

Nonstick olive-oil cooking spray

4 skinless salmon fillets (5-6 ounces each)

1 tablespoon olive oil

2 tablespoons fresh cilantro sprigs

Directions

1. Preheat broiler. In a small bowl, combine sugar, salt, cumin, and chili powder. Cut sweet potatoes into 1/4-inch-thick slices and place on the greased rack of a broiler pan. Coat sweet potatoes with cooking spray and sprinkle with half the spice mixture. Broil 10 minutes, turning once halfway though.

2. Rinse and dry salmon; coat with remaining spice mixture. In a large skillet, cook fish in hot olive oil over medium heat for 4 minutes per side, or until it flakes easily with a fork.

Buy fish that's caught locally. If you live in the Northeast, choose arctic char or striped bass; Midwesterners can look for yellow perch and lake trout; on the Pacific coast, go for wild halibut or cod.

A fillet should be almost odorless and have a firm texture -- pass if it's mushy. Also, check the ice underneath a piece of fish. Discoloration from dripping juices means the seafood has been sitting out a long time.

Canned tuna is a good source of low-fat protein and provides many vitamins and minerals, including selenium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, vitamin B-12 and niacin. Here it's served with chopped vegetables in pita bread for a quick lunch or light dinner.

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups shredded romaine lettuce

3/4 cup diced tomatoes

1/2 cup finely chopped green bell peppers

1/2 cup shredded carrots

1/2 cup finely chopped broccoli

1/4 cup finely chopped onion

2 cans (6 ounces each) low-salt white tuna packed in water, drained

1/2 cup low-fat ranch dressing

3 whole-wheat pita pockets, cut in half

Directions

In a large bowl, add the lettuce, tomatoes, peppers, carrots, broccoli and onions. Toss to mix evenly.

In a small bowl, add the tuna and ranch dressing. Stir to mix well. Add the tuna mixture to the lettuce mixture and stir to combine.

Scoop 3/4 cup of the tuna salad into each pita pocket half and serve immediately.

Directions

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook pasta in boiling water until tender yet firm to the bit, 8 to 10 minutes; drain.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic; saute until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Stir in the chicken and cook, stirring occasionally, until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 5 to 6 minutes.

A simple yet delicious recipe for crepes that can be made in minutes. It uses ingredients that everyone has on hand.

Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour

2 eggs

1/2 cup milk

1/2 cup water

1/4 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons butter, melted

Directions

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour and the eggs. Gradually add in the milk and water, stirring to combine. Add the salt and butter; beat until smooth.

Heat a lightly oiled griddle or frying pan over medium high heat. Pour or scoop the batter onto the griddle, using approximately 1/4 cup for each crepe. Tilt the pan with a circular motion so that the batter coats the surface evenly.

Cook the crepe for about 2 minutes, until the bottom is light brown. Loosen with a spatula, turn and cook the other side. Serve hot and with pieces of fresh fruit, yogurt, peanut butter, nutella and other yummy things. Recipe yields 8 crepes.

Looking for a quick dessert idea for when your friends come over? This recipe is a great one. Warm cobbler right out of the oven is something that everybody loves; a true comfort food.

Country Apple Cobbler

4 medium Granny Smith apples, peeled and cored

2 10-oz. cans refrigerated crescent roll dough

1 c. butter (1/2-3/4 c. would likely be enough)

1 ½ c. white sugar

1 tsp. ground cinnamon

1 12-oz. can Sprite or try Mt. Dew

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish. Cut each apple into 4 wedges and set aside. Separate the crescent roll dough into triangles. Roll each apple wedge in crescent roll dough starting at the smallest end. Pinch to seal and place in the baking dish.

Melt butter in a small saucepan and stir in the sugar and cinnamon. Pour over the apple dumplings. Pour soda over the dumplings.

Bake for 35–45 minutes in the oven, or until golden brown. Makes 16 servings.

You can let the butter melt at a low heat while you are preparing the dumplings. The sugar never really completely melted in the butter (which will truly be the case if you use less butter), so you can just poured it over each dumpling with its sugary sweetness.

It’s great to have a few quick and easy weeknight dinner recipes on hand and these lettuce wraps are full of flavor. This recipe is actually inspired by the menu item at P.F. Chang’s. One change was to omit the water chestnuts and use almonds instead, but as always do as you’d prefer.

Ingredients

1 head of Boston Lettuce, about 8 large leaves from the head for wraps
